Summary: Battlefield Heroes is a game that creates a lot of emotion. I know people who can't wait to play the colorful new take on the popular Battlefield franchise, while I also know others who grind their teeth in despair as they wait for news of Battlefield 3. Heroes is a huge experiment for EA and Swedish developer DICE. After all, it's an entirely free-to-play game (with optional microtransactions) that will be accessed entirely from a Web browser. And, oh yeah, it's got a total cartoon look and feel to it, not unlike last year's Team Fortress 2. Read Full Article

I think this game is gonna be a huge hit on the PC. They should find a way to port it to the PS3 and 360 as a downloadable title for $10 because there is a huge demand for downloadable multiplayer games on those systems. It looks like its coming along great, this could be the best BF game since 1942.

I was excited for this game. Then I looked at a video, and saw that it took a minute for that guy to die. I might be playing too much counter strike, but I don't like it when you unload a clip of ammo in someone's head, and they don't die (like in MOHH2).

I agree Im not too thrilled that it seemed to take like a 100 shots just to down that guy. But hey its a free game and Im sure there is going to be a ton of user made content and mods for it. Besides cant complain about something being free which is a major plus in my book. Definalty looking foward to playing this.

I think that TF2 looks like a much better game than this one does, but they're targeting different audiences. This game is for the people who liked the ART STYLE of TF2, but don't want to pay for the game. Warrock is targeting the Counter Strike: Source crowd who don't want to spend money on counter strike source.

art style of tf2 and bf2 are similar ONLY in the respect that they are both cartoons. tf2 is an art to mock stereotyped figures, the lumbering idiot of a heavy, the athletic, narcissist scout, and so on, this game aims for a more realistic body form, normal proportions (to an extent)

when you delve into., "style" the games are worlds apart from eachother.

yeah i probably would never have paid for it anyway lol...or even played it if it wasnt free.I wish counter strikes Day of defeat decided to do bigger maps, and marketed it more with thier half life 2, because if day of defeat had more maps and a bigger playing field, i reckon it would own the BF series.Especially on the weapon front of authenticity.

Shove it up your arse EA!..paying for unlocks?!...i knew there would be a catch to this "free" game...what absolute rubbish..i for one will not be playing this shambles of a game and leaving it to the idiots who will happily line your pockets.

Aznguy, why is BFBC console exclusive? Because sales on the PC are so pathetic now that there's not even a financial incentive for them to put it on PC. If there was, they WOULD put it on PC.

As for the moron Crutchley, you expect the game to be free for EVERYTHING? How the hell are they going to make money then, they just give it out of the goodness of their hearts to morons like you? Every "free" game has upgrades that charge, that's how they manage to be free in the first place. Idiot.

wah wah wah
Don't worry Battlefield 3 is still in the works so you can stop trying to rain on this game's parade. I am a huge BF fan (except for BF 2142 which is the worst MOD of BF2 I have ever played)

I welcome this game with open arms because I know that DICE is trying something new and different with the series. I am very happy that they didn't just release another crap ass mod like 2142
On that note, I hope that BF3 is a worthy successor to BF2 in the realistic squad based shooter genre.

Crutchly:
I think you are mistaking this game for Bad Company for the consoles. That is the game that EA is SELLING guns as extras which is completely WRONG. This game, Battlefield Heroes, is only selling costumes and outfits as extras. No weapons, powerups, or anything that could unbalance the game. I feel sorry for the Bad company gamers

Great both new Battlefield games look terrible. What happened to sticking with what works and not trying to make it into something it isn't. By the way any "huge BF fan" would never diss 2142 it is arguably the best FPS ever made. You probably just got destroyed so you didn't like it. I still haven't unlocked everything in that game.

GEEZ, you idiots complain when something is left alone and you complain when companies try something different!!!!!!!!!!!! go back to playing the ps3 and leave the real gamers alone will you?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????!!!!!!!!!??????!!!!!!!??????????!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Looks like it can be entertaining - who knows though, maybe it will be too simple to be much fun. Its free so complaining about it is just dumb. Please though - change some of the dang sound effects like the whizzes and whirs - esp the squeek that comes out when shooting rockets. Those sound effects if anything will be what turns me off from it. Can't listen to clown sounds for an hour.

I'm only suspicious of getting rid of the server browser... can I not pick the server I play on? or did I hear that wrong

and ill this hardcord BF fan stuff is crap

I also have been playing since i could get my hands on the BF1942 Wake Island demo and have every installment except Bad Company (don't have a console for it) and IMO, this game will be a refreshing offshoot of BF. It looks like the gameplay is there without a bunch of self-righteous 3 star generals running around complaining about baserape and initiating mutiny votes.
